Liven up your living room with bright colors

After the trend towards all-black-and-white interiors a few years ago, colors are now in the spotlight in the home. They bring warmth, color and friendliness into the home, and have many benefits for morale! Adding color to your home is a great way to modernize your decor and add a touch of originality. Here are a few tips for brightening up your living room with bright colors.

It sits proudly in the center of the living room, providing a comfortable, welcoming space, and it's the sofa, of course. If you're reluctant to add color to your living room, you can opt for a sober sofa and add a few colorful cushions to liven things up. But colorful sofas are definitely the trend.

To choose the right sofa, a number of criteria need to be taken into consideration. First and foremost, its shape must match the rest of the room. The straight sofa is a safe bet, but the corner sofa is also a very good choice, as is the sofa with chaise longue, or a trendy recliner for those who want to take particular care with the seating comfort in their living room.

If you have a small room, you'll want to opt for a sofa that is light and not too imposing, so that the color doesn't become too overpowering. On the other hand, if you have a large living room, you'll opt for a model that's big enough to make good use of the space.


Leather is a classic, but fabrics and microfibres offer a wide range of color possibilities. Velvet is particularly popular, as are more natural coverings such as cotton and linen.

When it comes to sofa color, you'll be spoilt for choice. This season's hottest colors will add a real touch of originality, such as almond green, olive green or moss green, all of which can be found on the various Mobilier de France sofa models.

Blue sofas are also very popular, making it easier to match other elements in the room, since the color blue is known to be easy to match. Choosing a deep shade is an excellent choice, but you can also opt for a duck blue model, which will be totally in with the current trend if you also choose a velvet upholstery.

Yellow is also a very popular color this season, and while mustard is still very much in vogue, it's increasingly being replaced by brighter yellows and curries. Contrary to what you might imagine, yellow is also very easy to match in a living room, and even if the hue may seem garish at first, it will make all the difference in a living room that you may choose to be more neutral.

Finally, rosy colors are also very fashionable, such as old rose or terracotta, both of which work very well together. For a touch of elegance in your living room, personalize one of our models with a powder pink fabric. Or opt for an orange sofa, which will bring a real touch of light and cheerfulness to any room!

More than seating, furniture can also bring color into the room, although it's not usually these pieces that we tend to focus on.

In fact, the various decorative elements in the living room can be used to vary colors and locations, so that the room is harmonious and color is added with subtlety. If you want to delimit the lounge area, a coloured rug is an excellent way of contrasting with the floor and thus further delimiting the spaces.

Curtains are also a very good way of adding color, as are more discreet accessories such as a lamp shade, vase, lantern, candle or decorative statuette.

In fact, it's a good idea to fill in the spaces as you go along, so as to dose the level of color in the room precisely, but also the patterns, as they'll also need to be present from time to time. In fact, opting for colorful, patterned wallpaper is a great way of bringing bright colors into the living room with ease. Tropical wallpaper is an excellent example, as it allows you to add flora and fauna to the wall in varying shades of intensity.
